Symptoms of Sentai Syndrome in a YYH Fan

by Ibara Bara


1. You've memorized all of the dialogue in the movies and/or shows (if you've seen them, which I haven't. K'so!!). Including the screaming. (Yup. Well, at least Poltergeist Report...)

7. You watch the movie as often as possible. (Yup)

8. You start calling annoying people "Yuusuke," "Kuwabara," "Boton," or "Hinageshi". (Yup)

16. You've written, are writing, or are planning on writing a fan fic. (Yup, obviously)

17. You've plastered your walls with pictures of the characters. Well, the kawaii characters at least... (If I had a decent printer...)

18. Each time you watch Poltergeist Report, you laugh at Kuwabara's mispronunciation of the word "punish". (Yup)

19. You laugh even harder when Hiei trips him. (Yup)

26. You're importing the soundtrack from Japan just so you can have the music. (Yup)

27. You've recorded the video on audio cassette just to listen to it in the car or on a walkman. (Planning on it)

28. You want a plush doll of one, or more, of the characters just so you can cuddle up next to it, and hug it, and squeeze it and ...and...WAAAAHHH!!! I want my Hiei-sama!! (obviously, *sniff* my answer is yes)

Update #1 (I finally saw some of the series...about 50 million times...) 10/28/2000

29. You've memorized the opening theme song to the eps, despite the fact that it's in Japanese, and can sing it at whim. (*sheepish grin* Uh-huh!)

30. You've had people e-mail you informing you of where you can get your kawaii Hiei plush doll. (*ducks as people throw things at her* Yup!)

31. You belong to a message board, and are well known by the people on it. (Yup. E-mail me for the site, minna!)

32. You've come up with some very odd crossovers. (Does Star Trek/YYH count?)

33. Even friends who are not involved in anime are aware of your obsession with a 'fictious' character. (Hey! He's real to me!)

34. You have your favorite ep(s) memorized. (*cringes* Yeah...)

35. Your non-anime friends get the YYH opening theme song stuck in their heads if they hang out with you for too long. (Erm...Yeah...)

36. You love the sexy sound of Hiei's Japanese voice. (Ooooooohoo!)

Update #2: (Baka Funimation)

37. Because of Funimation, you had to go find somebody with the entire series and beg them to tape it for you so you could trade them.

38. You plan on taping the American version anyway so you can find out everything they left out and vocalize it all over the Internet.


Note: Sorry about the Kuwabara-bashing...I can't help it! It's so EASY!! Not to mention FUN!! Also, does anyone know if and where I can get those dolls!! I want a plush Hiei!! My e-mail address is AiShiteruHiei@chichiri.com. Also e-mail me if you have any additions to this list.

Note #2: Yes, I finally found the eps! Well...some of them...And I do belong to a wonderful fanfics message board at the YYH Fanfiction Bookstore! It's a lovely site, and Rin puts the fanfics that are posted on her message board on her site, unless she's asked not to. And yes, Hiei's Japanese voice is soooo sexy. *drool*

Note #3: Well, Funimation recently bought the rights to YYH. The only news from them is that they plan on keeping the opening music. *sighs* And they’re the ones that butchered DragonBall Z. Not much we can do about it though...except...The YYH for the Fans Petition. http://www.geocities.com/ryozurin/ Sign it and help us save YYH!
